Postmastectomy nipple necrosis is a factor that leads to poor aesthetic outcome in breast reconstruction because of the unique projective structure nipple. We present case successful using de-epithelialized rectangular flap. A 45-year-old woman was diagnosed with left cancer. She had vertical scar below nipple-areolar complex due previous reduction mammoplasty. underwent nipple-sparing mastecto...

Although growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) are recognized as important contributors to breast epithelial growth, morphogenesis, hormone responsiveness, and neoplastic progression, the influence of functional interactions between breast stromal and epithelial cells on these processes has not been defined. Using a novel three-dimensional cell-cell interaction model, we have compared t...

SUMMARY The authors describe a 23-year-old woman with Gorham's syndrome who underwent an uneventful bilateral reduction mammoplasty which has not been reported in the medical literature today. The patient had undergone multiple surgical and medical interventions before presentation in the senior author's clinic including a vascularized free fibular graft which ultimately disappeared due to dise...

Abstract Aim National reported mastectomy rate varies from 25% - 45%. Also, when a reduction therapeutic mammoplasty is needed, symmetrisation of the contralateral side will follow. Can “relative new” technique local perforator flaps, reduce volume mastectomies and surgery in District General Hospital? Method Retrospective review yearly breast cancer treatment operations Ipswich Hospital. Resul...
